Bright Lights, Red Eyes, the third EP from Sydney singer-songwriter Ruel, landed on RCA on 23 October 2020, but its songs were born more than a year earlier. In June 2019 he set up in an Airbnb mansion in Paris with Sarah Aarons, and the pair turned out five songs in about three days, none of them taking longer than an hour. That's the house on the cover, with the two of them standing out front.
M-Phazes produced, and the title says plenty about the mood: sleek, after-hours pop with a little sleeplessness around the edges. Ruel pitched it as his most grown-up work to date, a snapshot of who he was in the moment he wrote it rather than a statement of who he'd become by release day. "As Long as You Care", the song that carried it onto the countdowns, went on to become one of the singles he's best known for.
